I disagree with using the label fat being compared to using the label n!gg@....

One is a statement of fact, the other is a racial slur....

The correct comparison would be

fat girlsvsblack girls

OK!i think everyone in here agrees that what Jeff wrote was disrespectful....He should be terminated We're just acknowledging that it is the truth..Brotha Man is not a good comparison at all to being called fat.. FOH!

Might not be a good comparison, but when that next receipt has the 'N' word on it, can't do anything but shrug if you're laughing one prejudice slur off, and not the next.

Hop, skip, jump away from going there in most cases. I know tooooo many people that were getting chuckles at making fun of clothing, hair, complexion, etc., and it made them brave enough to venture into race, and suddenly the laughter stopped.

Would it have been discrimination if the receipt had read "redhead girls"?

we already know fat is different than redhead

it just is

maybe some gingers would get upset though....I don't know

I know one is considered an offensive description, while the other isn't. I'm just getting back to the idea presented here that discrimination is discrimination. I'm curious about if ANY description would be considered discrimination.

I think almost everyone here agreed it was mean and rude, and should have been reported. Fat is mean and hurts peoples feelings. I'm more focused on the other ideas being thrown out.

The waiter would have covered the bill himself,and would have still been reported to the corperation. People find it really funny when other's make rude comments about weight,but really I don't pay money to be insulted,and I would be offended if a family member,or close friend had suffered through the same treatment.I would be ready to rip that asshole's head off...
